chills/infarction

Cardiovascular and inflammatory biomarkers in therapeutic hypothermia have been studied in cardiac arrest, but data on patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) treated with therapeutic hypothermia are currently unavailable. A multiplex proximity extension assay allowed us to

In the randomized rapid intravascular cooling in myocardial infarction as adjunctive to percutaneous coronary intervention (RAPID MI-ICE) and rapid endovascular catheter core cooling combined with cold saline as an adjunct to percutaneous coronary intervention for the treatment of acute myocardial

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to confirm the cardioprotective effects of hypothermia using a combination of cold saline and endovascular cooling. BACKGROUND Hypothermia has been reported to reduce infarct size (IS) in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarctions. METHODS In a

Experimental myocardial ischaemia was induced in 12 anaesthetized mongrel dogs by ligation of the circumflex branch of the left coronary artery. Twenty minutes after ligation 1% sodium fluorescein injected into the artery distal to the ligature evenly perfused the left ventricular wall in the

OBJECTIVE Antecedent febrile infection and psychological stress are described as predisposing risk factors for brain infarction. We examined the temporal relationship between preceding infection/inflammation and stroke onset as well as the role of recent psychological stress as a potential

A teaching hospital is working with the Victorian State Government and universities, integrating cost-effectiveness evidence into clinical practice guidelines (CPGs), protocols and pathways for respiratory and cardiology interventions. Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) findings are reported. Results

BACKGROUND In patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), urinary tract infection is the most common infection-related complication. Prostatic abscess in a patient with STEMI is very rare. METHODS We report the case of a 49-year-old Japanese man who developed fever and shaking chills

Sixty patients with suspected myocardial infarction were treated in an open study with intravenous high-dose streptokinase (1.5 million U in 70 min). The average delay between onset of pain and fibrinolysis was 270 min. Reperfusion parameters were fast resolution of pain, rapid decline of ST

A patient suffering from bilateral thalamic infarction in the region supplied by the paramedian arteries sparing the internal capsules underwent acoustic analysis of sentence utterances. The results were compared with the findings obtained in parkinsonian subjects, in patients with upper motor

A living-unrelated renal transplant recipient presented with a history of fever with chills and rigors for 3 days. Clinically, the cause of the fever could not be localized. During a hospital stay of 72 hours, the patient developed sore throat, laryngeal stridor and acute myocardial infarction. A

After myocardial infarction, a poorly contracting nonischemic border zone forms adjacent to the infarct. The cause of border zone dysfunction is unclear. The goal of this study was to determine the myofilament mechanisms involved in postinfarction border zone dysfunction. Two weeks after

OBJECTIVE Myocardial salvage, determined by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR), is used as end point in cardioprotection trials. To calculate myocardial salvage, infarct size is related to myocardium at risk (MaR), which can be assessed by T2-short tau inversion recovery (T2-STIR) and
